An Open Statement To Atheists...
« on: 07/03/2023 12:28:40 »
I feel compelled to say this at least once. Don't worry though, I think this is probably the last time I will post something like this.

But I like to think I believe in God now. But I am very skeptical, and I seem to become more agnostic the older I get. So atheists, I know where you're coming from, and tend to agree with you even. But no, you're not perfect either. Because no one is.
 
No, it's not your fault. It's just human nature really. But I do have to say one thing, has anyone ever noticed how obnoxious some atheists are getting? No not all, and I hope not most. But Christian's are at least still courteous and polite. Has anyone else ever noticed this?

As I said, I'm sorry I had to say that. But it's true.

This is a science site.
We deal in evidence.
Judged on the evidence, your assertion is plainly false.

You might have got away with sating "most Christians..."
But of course, the reply to that is "Most atheists...".

So, all you did was say something that was plainly wrong.
And then you have the audacity to say

Atheist think they're perfect?  Where did that come from?

You apparently live in some absolute fantasy world.  You do realize that some Christians lie, steal, cheat and murder, don't you?

No, I don't think atheists think they're perfect. Yeah, I guess I could have left that part out. I just think some of them are becoming very obnoxious. Which is a scientific fact. Now is that bad? Not necessarily. Perhaps they need to be that way to get people to listen.

If you want obnoxious, try the "westboro Baptist church"

I'm curious; why did you choose to post something that's obviously wrong?

Would that be the ones who bomb abortion clinics, or preach against contraception and gay marriage, and stone each others' children on the way to school? I've never known an atheist to behave quite that badly because his non-god told him to.

The best-organised atheists are probably Buddhists, and until recent events in Myanmar, they had a reputation for exceptionally good behavior. Unlike the Crusaders, the Inquisition, the Reformers, practically every exclusive sect, and those who defend pedophiles in their ranks.
